[ˈd͡ziʎʃ]
CilmeFrom Proto-Baltic *gil-, from Proto-Indo-European *gʷel-, *gʷl̥- (“to stab, to pierce”), whence also dzelt (“to sting”) (q.v.). At first there was a u-stem adjective *gilus > *dzilus (whence the Lithuanian cognate), later replaced by a- and yo-stem counterparts. Later on the yo-stem form stabilized, leading to dziļš, but descendants of the a-stem *dzils can still be found in dialectal terms like dziliene (“depth”) or in placenames like Dziloņezers (*dzilonis (“depth”)). Cognates include Lithuanian gilùs (“deep”), Old Prussian gillin (“deep (fem. acc.)”).
